Our crack reviewing team also approved of Dragonfish, with Trevor Snyman noting Vu Tran as ‘an author to be watched’ and all three of our featured reviewers declaring the novel to be very well written; let them persuade you here.

Debut Tall Oaks by Chris Whitaker was a hit with nb/nudge contributor Phil Ramage (and many others since) – he reviewed it as one to watch out for here and we put the two in touch for a very funny Author meets Reviewer.

Historical fiction is always a hit with our readers so we knew they’d be interested in The Unseeing by Anna Mazzola – read an extract from the book and discover a fantastic new voice in crime set in Victorian London.

The Cheltenham Square Murder by John Bude is the first of two British Library Crime Classics to be featured in our shortlist – if you haven’t discovered golden age crime fiction yet this would be a great place to start. Read the first chapter and start your journey.

By Gaslight by Steven Price went down very well with our reviewers – Ruth Ginarlis said it made ‘compulsive reading’ and Richard Bryant described it as ‘an exceptional, compelling and very satisfying novel that I would recommend highly’. Read their reviews and an extract from the book here.

The Poisoned Chocolates Case by Anthony Berkeley was re-published as a special edition by the British Library featuring two new solutions to the mystery – find out more and read the first chapter here. You might decide to stay away from liqueur chocolates after reading it…
